Works excerpted include Berio's Laborintus II; Henze's Symphony No. 8; Kurtįg's Grabstein für Stephan; Birtwistle's Ritual Fragment; Turnage's Drowned Out; Knussen's Flourish of Fireworks; and Gubaidulina's Zeitgestalten. Extras include a "Biographies of the Composers" feature, an audio track of the EMI recording of Mark-Anthony Turnage's Drowned Out, and a picture gallery.
